No Limit

David Gotze’s RP62 No Limit is an all-round boat, closely resembling the 2011 Hobart winner, Loki. With 12 Sydney Hobart races under his belt, Gotze’s best Sydney Hobart result was fourth in IRC Division 0 in 2022. In his program are the Audi Centre Sydney Blue Water Pointscore,  Australian Maxi Championship, including the SOLAS Big Boat Challenge, where No Limit secured third place in the Mini Maxi Division in 2023.

Gotze acquired No Limit, originally launched as Limit by Alan Brierty, just three weeks before the 2019 Rolex Sydney Hobart and placed seventh overall and second in Division 2. The Reichel/Pugh 63 underwent several name changes after Brierty sold her, such as Aszhou, when she was sold to overseas interests and Voodoo. As Voodoo, she finished third overall in the 2018 Sydney Hobart, winning Division 1 after being purchased from the US by Hugh Ellis.

For his part, Gotze previously owned other racing yachts and competed at the 2011 Rolex Farr 40 World Championship. Off the water, he has held significant positions, in the past serving as Commodore of Royal Brighton Yacht Club and President of Australian Sailing from 2011 to 2013.
